This home is so much more than the description and photos. The home was very comfortable, everyone slept really well. Between the lake access, kayaks and board games, our group of six never ran out of things to do.

We had a wonderful time here. The home is well stocked and clean. The lake side porch was our favorite gathering spot with its swing, dining table and gas fire pit. We enjoyed the kayaks and floats on the lake. Definitely would like to stay here again!

Wonderful Stay!

We had an excellent time at this gorgeous property! The lake was wonderful and the house was perfect for what we needed. We had 5 adults and 2 children and everyone had their space and were comfortable. The neighborhood lake fireworks was an unexpected bonus! We loved our long weekend at this lake house!
